…If you are not a fussy eater and love veggies, I suggest getting a mix of everything which includes pineapple, carrot, cherry tomato, cucumber, edamame and top with tobiko and nori flakes … We had a go at Tuna in Shoyu and Spicy Garlic Sesame and both were just as flavorful and tasty. Fresh tuna cubes thoroughly marinated and jazzing up the entire bowl with the desired flavors, a perfect match with the fresh veggie toppings. Base wise, the quinoa stood out for being easy on the stomach and was punchy with each grain. The sushi rice was great too with hints of vinegar spice and garlic mix. Read full review. +

I ordered two bowls for myself – the original shoyu tuna and spicy mayo salmon. In a carb-y mood, I ordered the sushi rice for both my bases, and for toppings, I asked for a lil’ bit of everything. On hindsight, the latter decision wasn’t the wisest … Each topping was undoubtedly fresh and distinguishable… Mixed together, however, the combination of ingredients wasn’t quite as harmonious as I’d hoped, and this essentially drowned out the seasonings of the sashimi and the vinegared flavours of the sushi rice. Eaten separately, however, both the shoyu tuna and spicy mayo salmon were both delightfully done – the chunks were soft, thick (think bara chirashi), and oozing with flavour with every munch. My tip? Choose your toppings sparingly. Read full review. +

…I love the idea of putting together my own meals – the combinations are endless and that is key in getting customers to repeatedly visit … This modern take on sushi rice is infused with garlic, chillies and sushi vinegar which was actually very tasty with the medley of toppings I had. The spicy tuna I had was a bestseller and rightfully so though I wished for the spice to be up several notches. Pineapples, as recommended by the server were great in providing that sharp tangy taste in the midst of all the savoury going on. Read full review. +

Go big or go home should probably be the motto when ordering at A Poke Theory. Even without the fancier toppings, its standard selection is way more than sufficient to blow your mind with their incredible variety. The avocado miso salmon is creamy and pairs delightfully well with the fragrant spiced roasted cashews, while the gentle lime avocado and soft sushi rice play up a nice contrast to the tangy tomatoes and savoury, tender pork. The original shoyu tuna is refreshingly clean, and zesty when mixed up with pineapple and pomegranate, with the crunchy kale chips, crispy fish skin, nori flakes and quinoa adding an interesting myriad of bites and texture to the bowl … For those who can’t get enough of their amazingly addictive toppings, A Poke Theory sells packaged versions of their crowd-favourite Spiced Roasted Cashews… Read full review. +

I decided on my base of lemon herb quinoa (nutty quinoa tossed in fresh lemon & chopped cilantro according to the website) plus romaine lettuce; my choice of the highly recommended avocado miso salmon and all the available toppings… Maybe I should have chosen the signature sushi rice instead; the quinoa despite the tossed in fresh lemon and chopped cilantro tag is rather bland. I wish there was more space in that tiny bowl for more lettuce but I love the toppings especially that sweet and juicy pineapple cubes and the sesame seeds that added overall flavor. As for the salmon, it was firm and creamy; decent. The shoyu tuna was a safe choice; not exceptional. Read full review. +

You can choose from three different bases: rice, quinoa or lettuce, and top it with either tuna or salmon. We got the rice base and topped our poke with an avocado and miso salmon, which was recommended to us. Afterwards, you can add even more toppings on top (we went with tobiko, edamame, pineapple and cherry tomatoes) and the end result looks absolutely stunning and perfect to instagram … we found out that the fish, vegetables and fruits are all sourced for personally, and not simply ordered without a second thought. The ingredients were very fresh, and we can attest to that from the juicy and very tender cherry tomatoes we had. Read full review. +

Superfood Smoothie Bowls: we thought that this was a steal as it suffices as a meal itself that keep you going all day. The smoothie contains a healthy amount of fibre and carbs (banana) with natural sweetness. My favourite was the raspberry one – the combination of sweet (from the bananas) and sour (pretty sour in fact) … Having tried Aloha Poke earlier last month, my preference lies slightly with A Poke Theory for its in-house premium toppings and the availability of smoothie bowls for sweet tooth.

“Poké” (pronounced as “Poh-Kay”, just the way you pronounced “Pokemon”) means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian. The Hawaiian styled staple consists of the freshest cut of the fish, topped with ingredients that bring out the best flavour. Think chirashi don in a healthier way … Our favourite was the Avocado Miso Salmon with a creamy texture, topped with sushi rice that resembled that of a chirashi don. Oishii. The combination of the toppings played an important role, and in our case, the mango and promegranate with a citrusy sour taste didn’t go quite well with the rest … Apart from the Poké bowls, their Smoothie Bowls (Raspberry Tropic, Maca Nutter, Blackberry Binge, Cacaoholic) were worth a mention.

The avocado miso salmon was da bomb – fresh, succulent cubes of marinated goodness. If you’re an avocado addict, you definitely shouldn’t miss out on it. The initial creaminess of the avocado mix gave way to the saltiness of the miso over time, while the salmon flesh remained plump and juicy … the staff recommended the Maca Nutter (banana blended with raw maca and soy milk, topped with coconut and dark chocolate drizzle, pomegranate, dark chocolate shavings, and my new favourite – roasted cashews). Unlike other places trying to pass off processed, preserved ingredients as as health food, the blended banana was LEGIT FRESH … Does A Poke Theory live up to its philosophy of bangin’ food gone healthy? Yes it does. Read full review. +
